Why does the Work Item History display "Omitting overlong change details"?
4 answers
The audit history can be accessed with APIs like:
- Plain Java
- Reportable REST
Using Reportable REST, the history of the Description attribute of a certain Work Item can be retrieved with following call:
https://HOST:PORT/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[id=WORKITEMID]/itemHistory/(modified|description)
Looks like that you face the same problem. Hopefully this is the case and no data loss was happening.
But still the most important question is: How can we solve this? How is it possible to get this information which changes are done?
Do we need to open a PMR? Or is there a workaround solution?

I seem to recall that there was a means to expose this when the item was viewed. In what I see only 1 of the many attributes changed is suppressed and it is of type Large String.
I could not find any description of this in looking at the "New & Noteworthy" sections back to v4. I doubt PMR would help. Though maybe some of the real experts will weigh in....
Suppose your work item has Large Text or HTML attribute. It is possible to change only a few characters of the attribute value, but the history may be filtering that down.
As an example, I support many projects that interact with IBM RETAIN. The text record of a PMR can exceed 32k and every update to that PMR updates the text...
Nothing is missing, it's just suppressed.
